## What it is
A curated awesome-list of more than 60 Go linters and static analysis tools, organized by category such as formatting, complexity, style, bugs, and performance. It also lists cloud-based code review services that run linters on pull requests.

## Use cases
- find a linter for my go project
- discover go static analysis tools
- compare go code formatting tools
- set up automated code review for go pull requests
- find tools to detect bugs and unused code in go
- curated list of golang linters

## When to choose
- you want to discover or compare Go linters and static analysis tools
- you need recommendations for code quality tooling in a Go project
- you want cloud services that lint Go pull requests

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable linter itself rather than a list of links
- you work in a language other than Go
- you need actively maintained documentation with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: linter, static-site-generator, code-review, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, awesome-lists, programming-languages, testing
- platform: go, cli, cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, golang, static-analysis, code-quality, curated-list
